A local nonprofit teamed with a veterans group on Veterans Day yesterday to help supply struggling Jersey City families with much-needed cleaning supplies.

Taylor Mosera, 22, a West Point senior, was one of about a half-dozen cadets who visited Project Home, a Bergen Avenue transitional home for formerly homeless women and their children, to deliver and pack up the supplies.

Mosera was working on behalf of The Mission Continues, an organization that teams veterans with public-service projects. Veterans who complete their service, or are unable to return to combat because of injuries, often want to continue serving the public in some way, he said.

Andrea Koenig-Feldman, director of development for Jersey City nonprofit WomenRising, which helped organize yesterday’s effort, said: “They served, but they still want to keep serving.”

Project Home director Anne Christensen stressed to the volunteers that many of the women living at her facility receive only about $300 a month in public assistance.

Once rent is paid, there’s not much left, Christensen said.

The group of volunteers, which included some Goldman Sachs employees, packed bins with dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and other items that cannot be purchased with food stamps. They also helped mail out fundraising letters for WomenRising.

Maj. Gene Palka, 32, was on hand at Project Home, said he appreciates The Mission Continues’ efforts to give “back to society.”

Palka, who was deployed to Iraq three times, said the drawdown of combat troops scheduled for the end of this year is “a good thing.”

“I’m very optimistic and excited about the way ahead for our military right now,” he said.
